This week we are celebrating Football with some Superbowl creations. Please leave a comment to win this week's prize... its 4 alterable items: 2 mailboxes, 1 wood picture frame, and a chipboard book. This should also be a hint of things to come here on our blog.

This week we are announcing a change to our weekly challenges. Our blog was started for Gypsy users, but we know that there are many out there that do not own a Gypsy or Desing Studio. Therefore, we are going to open all challenges to Cricut creations in general so that more of you can participate. We would love to see your projects just make sure you include some Cricut cuts. Our focus remains the Gypsy and its potential to enhance our creativity, but its not a must to enter our challenges.

Now for this week's challenge and prize. I am so happy to announce that Post-It® has offered to sponsor some of our challenges. They have a new line of adhesive backed craft paper that works awesome in your Cricut. The paper can be embossed and punched with paper punches. It's so easy to work with. Please visit their site here to find more information.

You will see some creations from our Design Team in the future using this paper, but you can enter for a chance to win a pack here along with one of my favorite new cartridges, Love Struck mini just in time for those Valentine's Day creations.

Just follow these simple rules to enter :

Give us a link to a Cricut creation using Gold and Black. Use the Mr. Linky box at the end of this post to share your link.

or

Post about our challenge on your blog and give us a link to your post using Mr. Linky.

***only entries done through Mr. Linky will be considered for the prize.

Don't for get to sign up to follow the blog so you can come back and play along each week.

Good luck to all and have a great week. Winner will be chosen Monday January 25th. Deadline for all entries is Sunday the 24th Midnight.
